Benefits of Adding a Custom Deck to Your Backyard
Building a deck in your backyard is one of the best upgrades you can do to your outdoor space. Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits you can expect when adding a deck to your backyard:
It gives you a quiet place to relax: We could all use a little more relaxation in our lives. When you build a deck in your backyard, you’re creating your own private oasis that’s perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
It can add a nice aesthetic to your yard: If you don’t currently spend much time in your backyard, it might benefit from some TLC. Adding a deck to the space can boost the overall aesthetic in your backyard, helping you get more enjoyment out of the space.

FAQ: Deck Design
How much does a custom deck cost?
Deck pricing depends on factors such as size, elevation, layout, framing requirements, decking material, railing selections, stairs, lighting, and additional features.
Because every project is different, an on-site consultation is the best way to develop an accurate estimate based on your property and design.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Northern Virginia?
Most new deck projects require permits, although specific requirements vary by county, city, and project scope.
Sunburst Construction addresses applicable permitting requirements as part of the project preparation process.
Do I need HOA approval for my deck?
Possibly. Many Northern Virginia communities have homeowners associations with architectural guidelines for exterior improvements.
HOA approval and local building permits are separate requirements, and one or both may apply to your project.
We’ll discuss applicable requirements during the planning process.
Is composite decking better than wood?
It depends on your priorities.
Wood offers a traditional appearance and may have a lower initial material cost, but it generally requires more routine maintenance.
Composite decking is popular with homeowners who want a durable outdoor surface without routine sanding, staining, or painting.
Should I choose Trex or TimberTech decking?
Both manufacturers offer high-quality alternatives to traditional wood decking, but their collections differ in materials, colors, textures, performance features, warranties, and price.
Because Sunburst works with both Trex and TimberTech products, we can show you samples and help you compare specific options for your project.
What size should my deck be?
The ideal deck size depends on your home, yard, budget, and how you intend to use the space.
Think about the amount of seating you want, outdoor dining, grills, traffic flow, stairs, and other features. We’ll help you determine a size and layout that makes sense for your property.
Can you replace an existing deck?
Yes. We can evaluate an aging or outdated deck and discuss your options for replacement.
Depending on the condition of the existing structure, re-decking may also be possible. We’ll inspect the framing before recommending the appropriate approach.
